Trying to optimize my way to read mails, and making a vip group in my contacts, I got a little problem when I did try to filter the group, just because gmail doesn't support this function.
But if you have the same problem I found a little hack to do it.

Steps to filter by contact in gmail

Create the group in Contacts ( if doesn't exists)

Compose an email to group

Copy the "To:" field

Paste into the "Convert" textbox

Copy the the "Convert" output into a new filter

The problem with this method is everytime when you modify the Contact Group you must to do all again.

But until gmail let do this we don't have much to do.

If do you find a new better way to filter contacts groups in gmail don't doubt comment!

In most software development is necessary to store a lot of data, so is necesary to design a model database to the problem.

Well for those who need to design one in databaseanswers.org there are more than 300 models Database, designed for typical cases as ERP, Customers and a Health Center, Clients and Fees,Bookstore...etc.

There are the diagrams ready to take and free download, and if you need help say they cand give a hand :-)

"There are numerous ways to let a developer know that you are interested in working with him long term, and not all of them involve monetary rewards. Any kind of additional “perk” goes a long way towards making people happy. These can involve non-liquid monetary assets such as stock options as well as perks like telecommuting, free lunches/snacks/sodas, good hardware, other gadgets"

About Morale

"If a good developer leaves the company for a reason that doesn’t directly involve money, it is often some type of morale problem—one that may be more widespread than you think. If people aren’t happy where they work, they will often leave for equal—or even less—pay elsewhere."

About Burnout

"What kinds of activities am I talking about? That’s up to you. People are different and different things work for different people so there isn’t any one clear answer to that question. Many developers are computer gaming geeks as well so a quick match of Warcraft III or Unreal Tournament can serve to refresh a developer almost as well as a good nights sleep. Others don’t enjoy PC gaming, but will welcome other things, like a quick game of HORSE on the Nerf basketball hoop in the hallway."

..."However, before looking to big, broad, expensive gestures and top-down morale improvement initiatives, look at the simple things first. Things like getting to know your employees personally, using common sense in operations, and finding out what employees want from you and your company can go a long, long way towards helping you keep good people working hard in your organization."
